Correct pricing information for Shoalhaven Hospital Car Park

The new Shoalhaven Hospital Multi Storey Car Park will open to the public from Tuesday 17 December. The new car park will provide more accessible car parking options for all – staff, patients and visitors.

Fees will be introduced at the new car park from 13 January 2020 with prices set at regional rates.

Local Health Districts use the revenue from car parking fees to contribute to the operations and maintenance of car parks. In addition, net revenue from car parking fees is invested in the delivery of services at the hospital.

Residents may have seen parking prices released by the South Coast Register which were incorrect.
